Flashback of Batman in my Barn

After things had settled down after the little mishap and whatnots of her little journey to the Future (that no one else out her circle knew about) and the mass grounding that she had to deal with things had settled down within a week or two.

And that mass stern look on her parents face when she returned was enough to make her actually sweat. She actually sweated and her parents were the only thing that could make her sweat when she was nervous and in fear of her life from the mass grounding and lecture that she was going to get. But most of all it was the fear was that she disappointed them and that they would be disappointed in her for what she caused. But most of all agony and pain with a the feeling like they were falling through a bottomless pit, all because she had gotten herself distracted and did not that the time to explain things well. And she knew that she should have asked for their permission to go to the Future, even if she knew that it was likely that they would have said " No " she knew that she could have worn them down because it was all to help people and was for the " greater good " as it was put.

What was she thinking about again ?

Oh yeah !

The horses were making quite the ruckus in the barn, in the middle of the night.

She was sitting quietly in the top of the barn doing her best to be at peace so that she could read one of the books that she had gotten out of the library that she was yet still to read, Twilight. Yep basically every girl in school and in the world has read the book but even more have seen the whole collection of films that was made from them and she was officially the last one in Smallville to do either. Even all of the boys had seen them on dates or were secret fans of the films, just too afraid to say that they were because they would be made fun of. She knew this for a fact because Pete was also one of them claiming that the book in his room belonged to his Mum then claiming it belonged to his sister then his brother's girlfriend until she got the confession out of him. She liked teasing him because she only had to look inside to know that it was taken out of the library and had his name quite literally on it. And now she had it and he had already spoiled some of it by telling her stuff that she did not need to hear.

Sparkly vampires !?

Who has ever heard of vampires sparkle in the sun because it was just unreal and the only thing that she could possibly think of them sparkling was before they erupted in flames in the sun and exploded.

Plus this Edward Cullen guy was a told creep. But what was even creepier was the girl Bella herself and everyone in the town because no one these people seemed like they were really people that would exist. Especially the school and the whole bit being the new girl and being popular instantly and it all just seemed weird, the writer seemed to have no clue how real teenagers were to each other.

But she was fascinated by Jacob Black and his background. He was of The Quileute Tribe, Native Americans and this interested her because of her friend Kyla of the Kawatche Tribe. She was interested in their history and was fascinated by the myths and legends of skin walkers which were also mentioned in the book. History was also a fascination for her and she was sidetracking herself again from what was going on.

It sounded like that they were in distress and by the sound of their hearts beating it was they were beginning to panic. And if they panicked anymore they might hurt themselves badly. Or they could accidentally kick one of her parents without meaning to.

So it would be best that she should go and check on the horses someone else checks on them.

Even though she really wanted to finish the rest of her book.

OK ?

Now I was just getting worse and she was starting to get worried.

They sounded restless and sounded like they were about to do something that would injure them.

Not wanting to use her super speed in case she frightened them even more

Now their heartbeats were racing and they were definitely terrified. And she did not need her super hearing to…..And something was moving in the shadows she could swear by it but she immediately shook it off so that she could attend to the horses.

" Calm down " said Clark reassuringly.

They started to calm down immediately as they recognised her immediately and after having sniffed her they immediately calmed down.

"Hush "said Clark.

She smiled reassuring at them as she comforted them. She gave them some more water and some hay to eat and even sneaked some sugar cubes into them when her parents were not looking she had hidden them when they were not looking.

And within a couple of minutes of reassurance and attention they were happy again and comfortable drinking their water and she was happy to leave them like this and get back to her book.

But when she did get back to her get back her book it had disappeared.

" Huh ! " she said aloud.

She searched around the area with her x-ray vision and even though she had used her x-ray vision she looked under the couch and with all the other books that she had scattered (neatly) everywhere. Just because they were on a pile on the ground as tall as she was does not mean that they were making a mess or that they place was a mess. It was just because she accidentally broke a shelf the night before she left for Star City looking for a certain book that she still could not find and only found out that later that Pete had borrowed it and forgot to tell her. She kind of accidentally leaned a little too hard while she was leaning on it and it broke with several books falling onto her and her Dad that was giving her and awkward talking while also threatening Star City at the same time.

And her book was nowhere to be seen and Pete had taken the sequel to the book when she was not looking. This was not good because the book did not belong to her because it belonged to the library and it was not a good thing to lose property that did not belong to you. It would go on her permanent record and she would be a book thief for the rest of her life and this was something that she could never let go. This would be something that would forever bug her and something that she could not forget or let go of because she would end up looking forever for the book that disappeared.

She had to find that book.

She shook her head along with her ponytail covering her eyes while going the stairs thinking that just maybe she had somehow mistakenly taken it downstairs with her when she went to see the horses. So she had to go and see for herself because if it was not then she was going to drive herself insane. Over a missing book of all things to make you go mad then that would truly be insane and the stupidest thing that she could think of or would be the first sign of madness to be identified.

"Bum bum bum bum " she hummed as she ran down the stairs.

And with each step she took and each note she thought of the more the song was stuck in her head.

THUD

It was the sound of a book falling and she ran back up the stairs knowing that it was the book that she was looking for. She saw it on the floor and immediately picked it up only to see something unexpected when she stood up.

There was not even the sound of crickets for miles away and the horses were making a sound. All she could hear was her breathing and the sound of her heartbeat against her chest getting faster and faster with her breathing getting heavier and deeper by the moment. She knew this feeling and it was not a pleasant one because she was being watched by someone and she could not tell who or what it was, all that it was terrifying and the feeling that it was out for blood.

Then she saw it again it was lurking in the shadows and it was on the rafters looking down at her watching her everyone move.

THUD

The book had fallen on the ground hard waking her up and making her realise that she had dreamed the whole thing completely.

Reading vampire novels and eating a lot of apple pie while reading them was not a good combination of things that should be put together especially when reading in the dark, in the middle of the night and eating a large dinner beforehand. It was the stuff of nightmares and she was still having a few of them of creatures of the night and things that happens when she was away and it were not comforting. And they were so scary that it felt that they were real and that they were going to happen or that they already happened.

It was all just a dream or rather a nightmare, one that she was sure hoping would never come true because some dreams come true and that is never good when it happens.

Pete would say it could be a prediction of the future. And Chloe would say something about it being about her psyche and paranoia of people that she would also share with her on the thoughts of the subject.

She was not aware of it at the time but she was being watched by someone in shadows, watching her every move and listening and watching her every move detailing it all and waiting to see if anything unfortunate would happen. This was because it in situations like this it always does when it came to his identity.

He had to be careful and make sure that his identity had not been found out by the girl because it could be only be a matter of time before she put the pieces together and see the similarities between his identity and Oliver's. It was a rather fine line between the cowl and the in differences of secret identities and he had to make sure that this was not seeing and that he had not made any incidental or crucial mistakes that would make his apparent.

There was that unfortunate incident that had him unmasked and one that he did not want to think of again. A situation that had caused him to make adjustments to his costume making the cowl and costume separate so that this would not happen again, a careless error in judgement he did not see in the original design.

But was far more worse was trying to explain the bruising on his neck, it was thought to be some kind of kinky thing that he and his lady of the night had caused and that he was into choking. But it was another way of explain injuries that could not be so simply explained and that he was into some certain stuff that was thought to be illegal is what the world thought of Brucie Wayne.

Alfred had to mend his cape and made certain remarks showing that he was not going to let this go anytime soon because it was too amusing.

The Kent girl's introduction to Bruce Wayne was an unexpected as well and one that he would not soon forget. But one to The Batman was one that he wanted to forget and did not want to happen at all but it was necessary that he had gotten the girl out of there.

This Kent girl was trouble.

Gotham was quiet and he could stay another two nights at the most.
